From the village forge to a global corporation

Our roots were planted in a small village smithy. The fact that a global corporation has emerged from these humble roots is also because we are constantly aware of what our identity represents and what values the company has always embodied: Quality, innovation in product and process as well as reliability and sustainability in our internal and external customer relations. That is the basis of our pursuit for sustainable growth and market leadership in our business divisions. Since 2016 we have made our contribution to the DexKo Group, the world's leading manufacturers of axles and chassis components in the lightweight segment.We are proud to continue in successfully shaping this development together with the DexKo group top management and our employees, and to convey our brand promise of quality, safety and comfort for our products and services to the world.
